A worksheet challenging students to build three models of houses using different materials, and test them to see if they can withstand the vibrations of a simulated earthquake.

Students will learn how engineers construct buildings to withstand damage from earthquakes by building their own structure with toothpicks and marshmallows. Students will test how earthquake-proof their buildings are by testing them on...

Students learn about earthquakes and how they effect structures. Student then apply their knowledge by trying to build an earthquake resistant city.

In this activity, students are introduced to faults. They will learn about different kinds of faults and understand their relationship to earthquakes. The students will build cardboard models of the three different types of faults as...

Our home, Earth, is a living planet. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are proof that the geological forces that shaped our planet and created the land masses are ongoing. An amazing example of geologic activity that is less damaging is...
